MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL 

c¢. Bergland township 

October 20, 2025 

Docket number 25-003304 

from Thomas James 

This statement is offered in response to Laura Erhart's response to my filing in the matter of 

Laura Erhart's 2025 reassessment of Bergland township in Ontonagon county - 

Laura Erhart claims I did not file a Petition with the Board of review on March 14, 2025 

; 

at best, this is a False statement. 

I understood I needed to file a Petition to preserve my Right to appeal the reassessment - 

I had been away, and only received my reassessment 

- incorrectly addressed - earlier on the 

afternoon of March 14, 2025; 

After quickly checking with two neighbors - confirming that Laura Erhart's reassessment was 

not-consistent with those of my neighbors- 

I raced to the Bergland municipal building and 

prepared a Petition for the Board of review - 

a copy of a copy of my Petition is attached. 

Laura Erhart claims that the Board of review's response was only made as "acknowledge" - 

ment of my appearance 

; at-best, that is an arguable claim. 

The fact that Laura Erhart has made an entry of the Board of review's decision on a document 

Laura Erhart claims represents the 

property tax "record card" 

for my residence makes this 

claim highly-suspect. 

Laura Erhart claims 

I, Thomas James, 

could not have submitted an "amended" Petition to the 

Bergland township Board on March 19th, 2025, 

Because Laura Erhart claims Thomas James did not file a Petition with the Board of review 

on March 14, 2025 

- But that is exactly what I did in both instances. 

(( actually, 

in Laura Erhart’s filing to the State, Laura Erhart claims I ‘could not have filed a

I have spent hundreds of hours working on this 

; 

monthly updates are provided to the Bergland township Board, and letters have been exchanged 

with the assessor. 

Laura Erhart claims I was provided with notice of the reassessment - 

This is an important and a significant Mistake! 

Laura Erhart's mailing, which Laura Erhart has included a copy of in response 

is addressed to 

James Allen’ - And 

though Laura Erhart has acknowledged that I am "Thomas James", 

Laura Erhart's letter in 

August 2025 

is addressed to "James, Thomas" 

. 

I am mystified ~~ 

Laura Erhart claims Thomas James was "in the room" for the July 2025 Board of review, and 

"refused" to speak with the Board of review 

; 

This so-badly misrepresents the events of July 24, 2025, 

I believe the only appropriate 

response is to state Laura Erhart's statement 

is A-lie More-than- Not-true. 

! 

Here are my facts - 

Laura Erhart was accompanied to the Board of review meetings by a Mastiff ( I believe it is a 

Tibetan Mastiff. an approximately 100 pound guard dog. that stands approximately waist-tall ) 

when [ entered the large meeting room ( approximately 20' x 40') 

in March 

(March 14, 2025), the Mastiff reacted hostilely to me; 

I spoke with Bergland township Board supervisor Jack Otlewis a couple of times in March 

2025 and April 2025 about Safety at the Bergland municipal building, and was assured Laura 

Erhart would not be bringing her Mastiff back to the Bergland municipal building - 

and yet in July, there was Laura Erhart and the Mastiff. 

! 

I stepped out of the Bergland municipal building to await the arrival of the supervisor, but when 

I re-entered, 

1 immediately recognized that papers had been removed from my notebook, and 

Laura Erhart was SHOUTING across the room at me. 

I gathered my notebook and papers and left immediately! 

I did not even look to see who else was in the room at that time.

the assessor has refused twice to come to township Board meetings, 

at the request of the 

supervisor - 

the supervisor has said the assessor claimed she did not have to comply, because she 'works 

for the Board'. 

That changed by Board action in September 2025.) 

My point is, 

1. the assessor's claim I "refused" to speak with the Board of review 

is A lie 

; and 

2. 

I believe the assessor was instructed 

to Not bring her guard dog to the Bergland municipal 

building and believes she does not have to comply with the supervisor. 

further, the assessor claims the reassessment is correct, But offers no explanation how the 

assessor concludes my residence - to which I have made 

no Improvements - 

appreciated 

47.5% ina year Inflation rose 2.7% / 3.1% depending on how the year 

is defined 

(the State of Michigan uses an October 

1 

- September 30 fiscal year for property taxes) 

; 

1- Thomas James - have offered to participate in [ alternative resolution | with Bergland 

township 

; 

I see no resolution with Laura Erhart. 

There are other points to be made, but in-response to Laura Erhart's False statement(s) 

I 

believe 

I must reply for-the-record. 

my residence did not appreciate 47.5% in 2024, and I will contest this False reassessment until 

1 have exhausted 

all options 

( my "amended Petition" remains Open with Bergland township ) 

. 

Thank you.

Tibetan Mastiff 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Mastiff 

The Tibetan Mastiffl2! is a large Tibetan dog breed. 

Its double coat is medium to long, subject to climate, 

and found in a wide variety of colors, including solid 

black, black and tan, various shades of red (from pale 

gold to deep red) and bluish-gray (dilute black), and 

sometimes with white markings around 

its neck, 

chest and legs. According to the American Kennel 

Club, male Tibetan Mastiffs have a weight of 40-70 

kg (90-150 lbs) while females are 30-55 kg (70-120 

Ibs).[2] 

Name 

The term mastiff was assigned by the Europeans who 

first came to Tibet because that name was used to 

refer to nearly all large dog breeds in the West. Early 

Western visitors to Tibet misnamed several of its 

breeds, such as the Tibetan terrier, which is not a

dog 

or—to 

encompass 

the 

landrace 

breed 

throughout its range—the Himalayan mountain dog 

[3] 

Description 

Appearance 

It typically retains the hardiness which would be required 

for it to survive in Tibet, Ladakh and other high-altitude

Tibetan Mastiff - Wikipedia 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Mastiff 

found in wild canids such as the wolf and other wild 

animals. Since its estrus usually takes place during late 

autumn, most Tibetan Mastiff puppies are born between 

December and January.[4] 

Its double coat is long, subject to climate, and found in a 

wide variety of colors, including solid black, black and tan, 

various shades of red (from pale gold to deep red) and 

bluish-gray (dilute black), often with white markings. As of 

2014, some breeders had begun marketing white Tibetan 

mastiffs. 

This side profile of Tu-Bo underscores 

the soundness and type that made him a 

sought-after stud dog. 

The coat of a Tibetan Mastiff lacks the unpleasant big-dog 

smell that affects many large breeds. The coat, whatever its 

length or color(s), should shed dirt and odors. Although 

the dogs shed somewhat throughout the year, there 

is 

generally one great molt in late winter or early spring and sometimes another, lesser molt in the 

late summer or early autumn. (Sterilization of the dog may dramatically affect the coat as to 

texture, density and shedding pattern.)[5] 

Tibetan Mastiffs are shown under one standard in the West, but separated by the Indian breed 

standard into two varieties: Lion Head (smaller; exceptionally long hair from forehead to withers, 

creating a ruff or mane) and Tiger Head (larger; shorter hair). 

Temperament 

As a flock guardian dog in Tibet, and in the West, it uses all the usual livestock guardian tactics 

(e.g., 

barking, 

scent-marking 

perimeters) 

to 

warn 

away 

predators 

and 

avoid 

direct 

confrontations.[3] 

As 

a socialized, more domestic dog, 

it can thrive 

in 

a spacious, fenced yard with 

a canine 

companion, but it is not an appropriate dog for apartment living. The Western-bred dogs are 

generally more easy-going, although still somewhat aloof with strangers. Through hundreds of 

years of selective breeding for a protective flock and family guardian, the breed has been prized for 

being 

a nocturnal sentry, keeping would-be predators and intruders 

at bay, and barking 

at 

unidentified sounds throughout the night. Leaving 

a Tibetan Mastiff outside 

all night with 

neighbors nearby is not recommended. They often sleep during the day, making them more active, 

alert, and aware at night.[3]

Tibetan Mastiff - Wikipedia 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Mastiff 

protectiveness of Tibetan Mastiffs requires alertness and planning by the owner, in order to avoid 

mishaps when tlie dog is merely reacting as a guardian. The breed is not recommended for novice 

dog owners, [3][6] 

Health 

Many breeders claim a life expectancy of 10-16 years, but these claims are unsubstantiated. Some 

lines do produce long-lived dogs. Other, more closely inbred lines, produce short-lived, unhealthy 

dogs. The breed has fewer genetic health problems than many breeds, but cases can be found of 

hypothyroidism, entropion, ectropion, distichiasis, skin problems including allergies, autoimmune 

(PRA), cataracts, and small ear canals with a tendency for infection. As with most large breeds, 

some will suffer with elbow or hip dysplasia. 

Canine inherited demyelinative neuropathy (CIDN), an inherited condition, appeared in one of the 

prominent lines of Tibetan Mastiffs in the early 1980s.[7] Unfortunately, known carriers were bred 

extensively and are behind many lines still being actively bred. Because the mode of inheritance 

appears to be as a simple recessive, continued inbreeding can still produce affected puppies. 

Hypothyroidism is fairly common in Tibetan Mastiffs, as it is in many large "northern" breeds. 

They should be tested periodically throughout their lives using 

a complete thyroid "panel". 

However, because the standard thyroid levels were established using domestic dog breeds, test 

results must be considered in the context of what is "normal" for the breed, not what is normal 

across all breeds. Many dogs of this breed will have "low" thyroid values, but no clinical symptoms. 

Vets and owners differ on the relative merits of medicating dogs which test "low", but are 

completely asymptomatic. 

History 

Originally these dogs were used to protect Buddhist monasteries and monks of Tibet from animals 

such as bears, wolves and snow leopards. [8]31[6} 

The Tibetan Mastiff is a phenotypically distinct dog breed that was bred as a flock guardian in the 

high altitudes of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateaus.[9][20]

; 

Tibetan dog from the 1850s 

The breed has been gaining in popularity worldwide since 

1980. Although the breed 

is 

still considered somewhat 

uncommon, as more active breeders arose and produced adequate numbers of dogs, various 

registries and show organizations (FCI, AKC) began to recognize the breed. In 2008, the Tibetan 

Mastiff competed for the first time in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. 

Since AKC recognition, the number of active breeders has skyrocketed, leading to over-breeding of 

puppies, many of which are highly inbred and of questionable quality. Initially, the breed suffered 

because of the limited gene pool from the original stock. By 2015, due to excessive breeding and 

unsuitability of the breed as a pet in urban situations, prices in China for the best dogs had fallen to 

about $2,000, and both lower quality and crossbreed dogs were being abandoned.[12116] 

In 2011, a DNA study concluded that there was a genetic relationship between the Tibetan mastiff 

and the Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dog, Rottweiler and Saint Bernard, and that these large 

breed dogs are probably partially descended from the Tibetan Mastiff.l13] In 2014, a study added 

the Leonberger to the list of possible relatives.
